It took the Angels a year to sign Jered Weaver after they chose him in the first round of the 2004 amateur draft, coming to terms with the former Long Beach State ace only hours before he would have re-entered the draft in 2005.
There will be no such haggling with this year’s top pick. Outfielder Jordyn Adams, the 17th pick of Monday’s first round of the draft, announced Tuesday that he has agreed to terms with the Angels and will sign in the next few days. The assigned slot value of his pick is about $3.
